I just had a student therapist tell me to be thankful I have bipolar because lots of famous people have it and it could be worse I could be bat nuggets crazy with schizophrenia! Something tells me she’s not going to get her degree giving advice like that. Geez Louise. |

This student therapist's communication skills need a lot of improvement. Hopefully at your next appointment you will get someone else to talk with. |

I really hate when people do that. Telling someone “it could be worse” to me is the very definition of minimizing their struggles. Sorry that happened to you Sharon. |

She told me today that she is leaving for another job in September so at that time I will have a different therapist. But I have to deal with her for another 3 months. |

Well it’s still a bummer that you have to deal with her for 3 months but at least you’ll have someone new (and hopefully better) in September. |

I’m starting to notice bipolar tendencies in myself like today one minute I was all excited hanging out with my ministry and the next minute I’m all sad completely detached from everyone else.

Don’t focus on that too much. Otherwise it can turn into a selffulfilling prophecy. Focus on what causes you to feel a certain way and if it’s justified. It’s normal that you’re fragile at the moment. Slowly work your way towards more stability. As frustrating as it is, you can’t do that fast. Often it’s three steps forward and two backwards. As long as the general trend is upwards it’s a win. |
